Not a thing. These are essentially the same issue. We're in a race
with Mobileip and RFC1602bis.

The one POSSIBLE difference is that the author of CCP acknowledged that
sections of his spec did infringe upon the Motorola patent claims. The
letter to Matsushita/Panasonic is an attempt for the patent holder to
identify which sections of the proposed protocol(s) are being infringed
upon.
